[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 479991"] Insane, you have a very valid point. I do need to add something though. Here in the US we have the No Child Left Behind act that has really messed everything up. It states that ALL students will be proficient in math and reading. ALL students are to meet a "set bar" that for some is entirely unreachable. Most states have tied funding to test results. Your school doesn't "make the grade", you don't get the money you've been getting which is causing budget cuts in schools making it even harder to reach that bar. It is a disaster. While I agree in the NCLB act in theory, it's implementation has actually done the opposite of what I feel the act is about. But then again, I'm only an "unemployed due to budget cuts due to decrease in funding" educator so what do I know. [/QUOTE]
